II ONEY 3' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, The Union Bank of Ireland held its third ordia nary meeting of shareholders to-day. The report, which was adopted, recommended a dividend of 10s. per share, free of income tax (being, rather more than 41 per cent, per annum). The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works Company were in demand at 1 prem., and closed at 1.1, prem. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 661. 15c. The English Stock Market has shown symptoms of further depression this morning. The Funds have declined another I per cent., which, with the / that occurred yesterday, gives a fall of 3 per cent. Within two days. The cause now operating ad• versely against the firmness of quotations is the Idea that money will become dearer through the unfavourable specie movement to the Continent. Consols for money are 90} ; and for the account, 9D ; the New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 8 91 ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041 ; India Stock is 215. Foreign Stocks have not varied to any material extent, bat prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 704: do. Consolides 501 ; Mexican, 282 294 ; do. New, 261 1; Greek 24i i ; Spanish Passive, 281 2 ; Portuguese, 484 1 ; Italian, 67 Z- ; and the Confederate Loan, 76 77. A flatter tone has prevailed in the Railway Share Market, and prices have in several instances given WIY• Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Great Eastern, and North Western have declined 5 "; Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Midland, 10s. ; South Eastern, 152. ; and Nuri,h Eastern (Berwick), la. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been little or no chauge of importance. Dank and Miscellaneoas Shares are in some in stances rather flatter.

Business continues very active in the general discount market, and as 6 per cent. is the lowest rate the inquiries at the Bank have increased. Several unfavourable alterations are exhibited in the Bank of England return. There is a falling off in the reserves of notes and bullion consequent upon a demand for both from the egricultural dis• tricts, a brisk commercial inquiry, and large ex.. ports of gold. The repayment of loans has caused a considerable reduction in the other securities.

There is an increase of £116,000 in the bullion ; £BOO,OOO in the Treasury balances, and of £BOO,OOO in the current accounts. The other items show a diminution of £1,115,000 in the discounts, of £48,000 in the advances, and of £176,000 in the rotes. At the meeting of the Midland Banking Com• P 4I) Y, held this day—Mr H. A. Hankey in the chair --the report, which was unanimously adopted, recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Alliance Bank to-day—Mr J. N. Daniel in the ehair--the report, which was adopted, recommended the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. on the paid up capital of the company in the proportion in which it has been called up, viz , 255. per share on the 20,000 original shares, and 12s. 6d. per share on the 10,000 new shares.

This was a suitin ;;itutedWCap;inl.ey, the son of a gentleman who held a situation as clerk in the House of Commons, for a divorce, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co -respondent, who had formerly been member of a firm of solicitors, and who was represented to be a person of considerable means, and occupying a London residence in Curzon: street. The parties were married in 1853 and cohabited until February last, when she eloped with the co-respondent, with whom she beoame ac quainted about five years ago while she and her husband were living at Dulwich with his mother, Lady Francis Lay. Letters wero put in from the respondent and co-re spondent, which lett no doubt as to their criminality, and the wife expressed herself deeply gratified tor the kindness she had received from her husband from the time of their marriage down to the time when she de serted him. It was also proved that this Mr Gordon had occupied the same bed at an hotel and a lodging-hcuse at Thames Ditton. Several witnesses were called to prove that the petitioner and his wife lived on terms• of mutual affection. Dr Dear, Q C., addressed the court for mitigation of damages, and said that the co-respondent was in reduced circumstances. The learned judge having summed up the jury retired, and had not delivered their judgment when we went to press. WELLS V.

SWIMMING. SWIMMING MATCH IN THE SERPENTINE. An interesting race took place across the Serpentine and back on Wednesday evening, between a few lovers of the art in which Leander was so proficient. As in the case of that famous swimmer, the object of each competitor was to gratify the girl of his choice, the match being for a "sweetheart's prize".—an elegant gold necklet and locket, presented by the London Swimming Club. Some of the most expert members of this society entered, and were han dicapped according to their proficiency by Mr Payton, the secretary. Evens, the tallest and strongest looking of all—a fine young man, over six feet high—plunged in first, and after swimming about 15 yards was followed by a short, slim comrade, named Bartlett, who showed his skill by rapidly overtaking and passing his opponent, when half away across. Ploughing their way swiftly after them were the rest of the competitors, who left the starting point thus :—Fry, two or three seconds after Bartlett ; Stuart next, anzl the best swimmers, Jones and Williams, last. When about four minutes had elapsed from the time Evans started, Bartlett was seen to Teach the opposite shore first, and to plunge in again for the return journey. His rivals being by thie time close behind him : the race became ex citing to the hundreds who awaited the insult. Encouraged to fresh exertion, the competitors persevered, swimming in the most plucky style. The rear division in va;.'t tried their utmost to pass young Bartlett. Putting on a final spurt, amid enthusiastic cheers, he arrived first at the south bank, and was declared winner of the " Sweetheart's priz 3. " ,Fry carne in second, and was immediately followed by Jones, Williams, Stuart, and, though last not least, Evans. A few of those adepts, as well as about 50 other amateurs, are to swim this (Friday) evening for the One-mile Amateur Champion's Cup, given by the proprietor of the Sporting Pilot. The course for the race is to be a mile in the Tnames. from the Dung wharf to Putney aqueduct. A steamboat (from which the men are to star t) will leave London-bridge at half-past 4, and will call at all the piers up to Putney. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CRIPPLE BEGGING COMPANY.—Five men, named Bar ton, Hilt, Carr, Dunbar, calling themselves colliers, and Johnson, calling himself a stonemason, were charged before Mr Knox. with begging. _ _ _ The prisoners presented a rather singular appearance in the dock, all being supported by crutches, Holt, Dunbar, and Carr each having lost a leg, and Barton and Johnson being also lame. Woddup, one of the Mendicity Society's officers, proved seeing the prisoners going about Park-street, Grosvenor square, all forming one company and begging. Two of the prisoners were acting as spokesman, and telling a pitiful tale of a sad accident which had befallen them in a col liery, while the others were collecting alms, but the whole of the prisoners begged in turn. The prisoners then surrounded a carriage ar_d begged of the occupants, as Woddup then took them into custody. In answer to Mr Knox, Woddup said Dunbar had been convicted at the Bow street Police Court, and the others frequently warned by him. _ _ _ Worraker, another officer of the Society, said he knew Johnson as a practical beggar. Mr Knox committed Dunbar and Johnson for a month each, and the others for seven days each. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market quiet, but steady. Sales probably 6,000 bales. WEEKLY REPORT.

Extraordinary Charge Against a Married Woman, Yesterday Mr John Humphreys, Middlesex coro ner, resumed an enquiry, at the Three Cups Tavern, High-street, Bow, respecting the death of a newly born female child, which had been thrcwn away by order of the mother, a married woman, The facts of the case are as follows :—Last Fri day, some boys playing at the Canal Wharf, Mite End, found • a box labelled " Borwick'd Baking Powder," and in it the body of the deceased child, which they threw under the roadway. They then carried the box to Mrs Stuart, the wife of a com mercial traveller, residing at Canai Wharf, and showei her the child. She recognised a pair of drawers in which it was w rapped as the property of a Mrs Goldsworthy, the wife of a painter and glezier living at No 45, Stepney-green. Mrs Goldsworthy had been recently confined, and had a few days pre viously said to Mrs Stuart that Dr Hance, of the Mile-end road, had advised her to dig a hole, two feet deep, in th© garden, and put the child in it, as a certificate was not necessary,and she had done so. On the night before the boys found the deceased child in the b3x a Mrs Donohue, who had attended Mrs Goldsworthy, called at Mrs Stuart's house, and she must have passed by the spot where the child was found in the morning. Mrs Stuart put the lid of the box in her pocket, and called en Mrs Golds. worthy and. said, "I had a dream last night that you put the child in a box." The mother started up in bed, and said in a frantic manner, "So help me God you are right, It is true— but it was buried in the garden." Mrs Stuart pulled the lid of the box out of her pocket, and said, "No, it was not. Look here." Mrs Goldsworthy said, " Oh, my God ! a religious brother of Mrs Donohue, took it away.' Mrs Stuart then went to Mrs, Donohue, who admitted that on last Thursday ❑ight she walked about the streets with the box in her arms, waiting for an opportunity to slip it into some corner. She at last got tired and anxious, and she went to the Globe Bridge, over the Regent's Canal, but she was afraid the splash of the box in the water would excite the suspicion of the paseerseby, and she did not know what to do. Ultimately she threw it behind a shed near the bridge. When the deceased child was shown to Dr C. Garman he said that it might have lived for a short time, but he could not speak posi tively of the fact, It appeared to have been a six or seven months' child. Dr Henry Hance said that on last Sunday week he was called in to attend ;Ars Goldsworthy. She was delivered of a female child of between five and six months. The child was born dead. No corti ficato was asked for. The mother asked witness, " What is to be done with this ?" Witness said, "This is a miscarriage. Ido not suppose a certifi caw is necessary. Dig a hole two feet deep in the garden," Witness did not think it was wrong to make such a remark to the mother. It was a com mon practice for medical men to let the budies of stilt-born children be buried in back gardens. The Coroner said that the practice was a most dangerous one. If the bodies of still-born children were allowed to be buried in the back gardens of the houses in the metropolis great facilities would be given for the commission Of the crime of infan ticide. Al . -02. Donohue was then called, and having been cr..utioned by the Coroner, deposed that het real name was Charlotte Harvey, end that she resided at No. 5, Thomas-street, Stepney. She was a per son living on her means. She was not a nurse. She attended Mrs Goldsworthy as a friend. The de ceased was at first buried in the, garden. On the Tuesday the rats came about the garden, and the landlord of the house in which Mrs Goldsworthy lived said that the body " must be dug up." The body was taken up on the following Thursday. A consultation was held in order to ascertain what was to be done with the body. Mrs Goldsworthy said to withess, " Drop it, into the canal." Witness had never done such a thing before, but she did not think that it was wrong, " as it was a substance that never was human." Witness was afraid to drop it in the canal. She deposited the box on the path by the side of the canal, in order that the body might be washed away by the morning tide. There was nothing wrong in that. A Juror—Nothing wrong I Perhaps not in Calcatta, but it certainly is in England. The Coroner said that the coroner's court could not prosecute in such a case. That was a duty for the police. _ Dr. Hance said that the medical profession wished particularly to know if still-box n children required certificates. The Coroner having summed up, The Jury returned the following verdict t--That the deceased child was found dead in a certain box, and the jurors say that the said child was still born; and the said jurors further say that in their opinion great blame attaches to the medical man in this case, as owing to his not having given a certi ficate the whole of this unfortunate occurrence is due. _ _ _ Dr. Hance said that aft©r that verdict the medica' profession would know what to do in the case o] still-born children. The proceedings then terminated. As Mrs. Harvey was leaving the court she was arrested on the charge of illeg a lly expos i ng t h e dead body. She was instantly removed to the Bow police•station, where she was charged with the above offence. The prisoner was brought before the magistrate bis morning, at the Themes Police Court, and after hearing the evidence given above she was discharged, 701 116; f 71 :03 441 116 f I 16 f 09f 613 f 1121 I 137/ Business don« The Army Medical Service, Sir C. Wood alleged on Tuesday night last in the House of Commons that competitive examinations for the Army Medical Service had entirely failed, and has introduced an Indian Medical Service Bill which would do away with competitive examinations. We do not hesitate to declare that Sir C. Wood has been completely misinformed on this subject, and has entirely misled the house. It will be neces sary for him to state what he means by the complete failure of the competitive examinations for the Army Medical Ser vice. It will then be apparent that they have fully suc ceeded. They succeeded in supplying during the first years of their establishment, and under the directorship of Mr Alexander, a full, continuous, and increasing stream of high-class candidates. They succeeded in furnishing to the army a supply of men of precisely the quality and stamp that were wanted—men fit to be intrusted with the sole re sponsibility of the health and lives of men and officers. Presently, when by tampering with the Warrant of 1858 for the English army, by four years delay in applying the Queen's Warrant to the Indian army, the Government hag rendered the Army Medical Service so unpopular that few men—except those who were hopeless, helpless, and educated—would enter the service, the examinations were successful in passing through all who were at all competent persons ; and were also successful in keeping back certain persons who manifested the grossest ignorance and most dangerous incapacity, but who otherwise would have been admitted into the service, since they were legally qualified —men who proposed to plunge a trocar into the breast of a suckling woman, who could not apply a splint, who ope rated on the dead body so unskilfully that had the subject been living they must have killed him on the spot. The examinations have been highly successful, and Sir Charles Wood could not have consulted either the civil profession or the army medical service, much less the examiners them selves, before he made the statement of their complete failure. They have only been a little too successful for the Govern7lent they have interposed a check on the pro ceedings of ,`.he Horse Guards by affording an index of the depression in the quality and the number of the candi- I;.:. dates which t uniform harshness, morgue, and in justice of that de p._rtment have caused. They pro with competitive examine - pose, then, to do awa, silence the tell. tale. An tions—to destroy the in dex any ral Medical Council to a tt em pt was made to induc e the Gem: by working upon aisapprove these competit ive examination: the pride of the corp orations, who were to:a that these secondary examinations were offensive to their dignity. But after inquiring a little into the working of the ma, Yr, and seeing how successful they were iL passing through alt fit applicants, and only filtering off a sediment of so coarse a quality as would shame the service and peril the welfare of the soldiers, the council decided unanimously in favour of them. What, then, can Sir Charles Wood mean by de daring that the examinations have failed? He cannot mean that they have been unfairly conducted, or too stringent, or that they have failed to distinguish the good from bad. No one dcubts that they furnish, in the case of medical officers, a fair and perfect test of merit and fitness at the time of entering the service. He means that the military authorities are shifting on to this useful part of the machinery the blame which is, in fact, entirely and solely due to thbfr arbitrary proceedings and the insufficient inducement which the medical service of the army offers. Like bad conductors, they want to smash the index. It is no doubt an ingenious device to cover the injury which they have done and are doing to the army ; but it can only serve to increase the defect in the quality of the candidates, and to damage the cfficiency,tof the service by admitting indiscriminately those whom the competitive examinations would have rejected and such as are utterly inefficient. If the House of Com mons would take the trouble to investigate the question at all, we feel assured that it would never consent to abolish competitive examinations for the Army Medical Depart ment, which are unanimously approved in the medical pro fession and by army medical officers. Mr Longfield and Mr Hennessy have rendered a public service in offering a spirited opposition to the progress of the India Medical Service Bill in its present form, and we hope that Mr Hen nessy will further master the details of the question, which will show how greatly such an opposition would be opposed to the best interests of the arm y.—. Lancet. REPRESENTATION OF KINCAIMINESIIIRE. General Sir H. Arbuthnott having intimated his inters ion to vacate his seat at the end of the present Par liament, Mr J. D. Nicoll, of Ballogie, has intimated his intention of standing as candidate for the representation at the nest election in the Liberal interest. The present member has represented the county for nearly 40 years, and his principal reason for retiring is on account of in creasing deafness, which prevents him from paying all the attention he could dean to his Parliamentary duties, (From the Queen of this day.) The West-end season of eighteen hundred and sixty-four has been generally admitted to be of ae of the most brilliant of modern years, considorini the retirement of the Sovereign from public life. Dur ing its continuance we hare had balls, di'hners, bazaars, amateur plays, concerts, reviews, and' eve ry species of amusement which fancy could devise for the entertainment of the heir to the throne and his consort, as well as the fashionable world. A set Ise tional wind-up alone was needed ; and as the rea( :ere of The Queen, we imagine, will like to be made ac quainted with the fullest particulars of an event which, from the rank of the contracting parties, must become one of historic interest, we make no apology for giving the following narrative:--Among the English aristocracy there is no house so remark able for the manner in which it has interwoven itself with the great families of the land as the Pagets, and which may in soma measure be ac counted for by their connection with the Court, which has been of many years standing. Indeed, it has been said of them that the men were all heroes and the women angels. Around them romance has shed its halo, from the first Marquis of Anglesey down to his granddaughter, who, by her marriage on Saturday, became the Marchioness of Hastings. Such an alliance at one time would have created no more sensation than an ordinary marriage in high life. The announcement would have appeared in our columns; and we should have done justice to the beauty of the bride, and the exquisite texture of her dress, enumerated her bridesmaids, and given details of their costumes, and concluded by stating that the happy pair left town for Donning ton-park, accompanied by the best wishes of their friends for their future happiness. All this trouble has been spared us. We should premise our story by stating that, among the belles of our English aristocracy, few of late years created such a sensa tion on her debut as Lady Florence Paget, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Anglesey. Gifted with the hereditary beauty of her family to , a rare extent, her petite figure and dove-like eyes caused her at once to become "the rage of the park, the ball-room, the opera, and the croquet lawn." These personal charms were not a little enhanced by the unaffectedness of her manner and extreme good nature, which caused her to become the idol of her father and the household. Deprived of a mother's care at an early age, her education was hardly so advanced as might have been anticipated from her sphere in life, and she seemed to have made Diana Vernon her model. In her intercourse with society, among the many suitors by whom she was currounded was Mr Chaplin, a gentleman possessed of estates in Lincolnshire which produce him a rental of nearly forty thousand pounds per annum, and endowed with every quality to render him a:desirable parti. Their intimacy was such last year that rumours of their engagement appeared in the papers, only to be contradicted, and Mr Chaplin proceeded on a shooting tour in India with his friend Sir Frederick Johnstone, Returning in May, ne again met Lady Florence daily, and as a proof that his attachment was undiminished he pro posed to her, and was accepted. The match was one which gave the greatest satisfaction to the Marquis of Anglesey and all his family, for Mr. Chaplin was a young man of great promise, and by his ample means could give Lady Florence a position in society which she had a right to look for, although she could bring him no dowry. The announcement of the engagement appeared in the Morning Post, and also in our columns, and the happy pair were seen driving together in the parks, in the same box at the opera, and enjoying each other's society in the same manner as fiancees are in the habit of doing. At a fashionable jeweller's at the West-end Lady Florence's jewels, the gift of Mr. Chaplin, were displayed to all comers, and the trosseau engaged the attention of the first modistes. Presents came into her in abundance, the servants even subscribing for a silver teapot, sugar basin, and cream jug for her. The wedding was fixed he; the second week in August, and Mr. Chaplin had made the necessary preparations to receive his bride. But it was not to be, although no later than Friday eight she occupied Mr. Chaplin's box at the opera, and sat between him and her really it ture husband, the Marquis of Hastings, of whom we may remark that his attachment to her had been notorious, and it was known that he meant to have proposed to her, if Mr. Chaplin had not taken time by the forelock. Addicted as his lordship is to the turf and its con genial accessories, it was imagined Lady Florence's image would soon be erased from his mind, but is seemed otherwise, and that, while on the best of terms with Mr Chaplin, he was only concealNg his play, for on the following morning (Saturday) that he had been at the opera with him and her ladyship' he found himself with the latter at St George's Church, Hanover-square, and they were united for better or worse. As much curiosity prevails to know how the marriage was arranged, we may state that Lady Florence, on Saturday morning, left the St George's Hotel, in Albemarle-street, where she had been staying during tlee season, iv her father's brougham, telling the porter, if Mr Chaplin called, she should not return until two o'clock. She then was driven to Marshall and Snellgrove's, in Oz ford street, and leaving the carriage at one entrance was met at the other by the sister of the Marquis of Hastings, who, engaging a hack cab, drove her at once to St George's, where the Marquis of Hastings, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Granville (whose mar riage we recorded only a fortnight back), Mr Biala s Mr Wilkinson, and Mr F. Wombwell were in wait ing. Immediately after the ceremony had been performed, the Marquis and Marchioness of Hast ings repaired to Mr Granville's lodgings in St. James's-place, from whence, after the bride had communicated by letter to Mr Chaplin and her family her change of mind, they started per special train for Donnington-park to spend the honeymoon. AtPeterberough station they were met by several of their friends, who were not a little surprised to find Lady Florence in company with the marquis instead of Mr Chaplin. To show that the marriage could not have been an impromptu affair, as some people imagine, the fact of the happy couple being received at the station by his tenantry, who had erected no less than nine triumphalarchea trimmed with flowers, at once discloses. It is need less to add that Mr Ceplin feels very much the alight that has been put upon him, but his feelings aro in :ome measure consoled by the assurance of his friend& that it is all for the best. The Marquis of Anglesey i s a l so :nuch distressed at the affair, for the alliance with Mr Ctleplin had his consent and approb a tion. Her ladyship's brother and brother-in-l aw , L or ds Uxbridge and linchelsea, heard of th e marr i age by accident at the p igeon shootin g ma t c h a t H ornsey In conclusion, we may ',Jilts that since Lady Adele Villiers eloped with Capta;n Ibbetson, of the 11th Hussars, at Brighton, no sioilar occurrenoa has created such a profound sensatio:l among the West. end Mothers and Daughters.

The lion, gentleman then read an extract from the lancet, which stated that the mea sure, if passed in its present form, would entirely destroy the efficiency of the East Indian medical service. Col. SYKES seconded the amendment, He did not see how the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for India could object to the words of the proposed addition to the bill be caus3 they were part of the Queen's proclamation to the people of India. The refusal of the clause was, in effect, to refuse that to the people of India which had been pro mised them by her Majesty's proclamation. Sir C. WOOD said it was a mistake for any one to suppose that he was opposed to the competitive system, because he was the very person who introduced it. The bill, therefore, was not to abolish the competition, but it was to enable him to form a staff medical corp for India from amongst those medical officers in her Majesty's army who have entered it by competitive service. The Indian Medical Service was at present very deficient, and he be lieved that the Queen's army would be benefitted by that which he now proposed to do. He did not in the slightest degree wish to interfere with the regulations at presen in existence in the Queen's army. Col. NORTH was in favour of the amendment. Mr BRADY said it was entirely owing to the illiberal treatment the medical men received that there was any diffi culty in the matter. The medical man's pay was much leas than that of other officers of a similar position, and whilst that state of things existed, it was impossible to suppose that gentlemen would enter upon duties of great responsi bility without being adequately remunerated for the labour. The position of the surgeon in the army, as far as rank was concerned, was that of a captain whilst he only reached the pay of a lieutenant. Sir C. WOOD said that that state of things had been altered by advices taken out by the last mail. Sir J. TRELAWNY opposed the amendment. A division then took place, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority against• the amendment.... —2O The amendment was negatived, and the bill ordered to be reed a third time on Monday.
